I only have one headphone jack in my MAC pro (not two). Will both the microphone and headset work? I mainly want to use this for my Rosetta Stone use.

No. It has 2 plugs (one for the microphone and one for listening). You have to plug BOTH in, in order to use the headset and microphone. I have an ASUS with 2 plugs. Your computer or laptop needs to have 2 plugs in order to use this headset. I would suggest getting one of those cheap earbuds with a microphone attached (like for talking on your cell phone). They usually have just 1 plug. I got a pair at Ross or TJ Maxx for $6.99.

Since your Audio port supports audio and voice when you plug something into it, this feature of the headset becomes a disadvantage. To answer your question, you will not be able to use both microphone and audio at the same time unless you buy an audio jack that can support both pathways. You can also buy this off of Amazon. Here is a link for one that is fairly cheap and has what you need and nothing more to it: SYBA external USB Stereo Sound Adapter for Windows, Mac, Linux Extra Audio Source with Microphone SD-CM-UAUD I hope that you will look forward to using this if you buy it!

It's a plug and play device, so yes, I'm going to have to say it's compatible with Mac. I don't know if the volume controls on the cord will work, but you should at least be able to send and receive audio through the headset.

Yes, however, the problem with mac computers is you need an adapter for your mic to be powered. So without that adapter you will likely only be able to get sound from the headphones. If you do not want to buy an adapter best to buy an USB headset.

Finally home! There are 3 settings: one for the phone, one for a mic, and one for music. Not sure if one of those work with Rosetta Stone....Find out from Rosetta Stone if you can use an USB headset. If so, this one will work. Hope this helps!

Yes ma'am you can! I have used it many times before! Just make sure you go into your laptops "System Preferences" >then>"Sound">then> change your Output to headphones (*redundant* or it should automatically when you plug them in) but the important part is the "Input" section (located at the top with "sound effects and Output") make sure the input is set to the "turtle beach mic."I hope this helps, and I hope you message me back with your Mac gamer tag so that we may meet up online! I have ZERO friends to play with on Macs!!

XLR to microphone and USB into Mac. Mine worked a little better (less laggy) when I used the USB 2.0 jack. In hindsight, I would've bought XLR - 1/8 in mini plug and used the mic input and it might have worked better. You have to switch input in settings also, it's probably defaulted to "built in mic".

If your headset has a plug for the mic and another plug for audio you will plug them both into this device and it should work fine. This does not us your built in sound card. It is a second sound card when you plug it into the USB port on your computer.

Sound and mic will work in the jack marked with the microphone icon. (Make sure you have the right three conductor cable.) sound only at the seconded jack. So someone can listen to music on your iPhone and hear a conversation, but not talk in the conversation. I think this is what you are looking for: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-MUYHSMFF-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/dp/B004SP0WAQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388775932&sr=8-1&keywords=mic+headphone+adapter Note: I have no relationship with either product.

It works nicely with Apple products. I tested mine with the iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro and MacMini. The specific point I would make is that it plugs into where the headphones do... there isn't a specific mic input.

Yes, certainly. It is a USB device and will use one of the USB ports. It is a DAC (Digital to Audio Converter) and at $20 provides MUCH better sound than the one Apple builds into its products. I had a problem with the fractious headphone jack on my MBPro and found this a perfect solution. I've moved to a MacMini and still use it rather than the headphone jack. The sound quality alone is worth the change.

I have use this on an iPhone and iPad only..i dont hear my own voice through the mic....hopefully it will be the same with the Mac as well....!!!!!!

The short answer is actually no. The problem is that all modern Macs (since 2012 or 2013) use an integrated 3.5mm jack for both the output and input (mic). So if you want to use the mic with a Mac, you will need to purchase a USB converter.

We have not connected a microphone, but this cable simply makes three iPad headphone ports where there was just one. It does NOT split out the left audio, right audio & microphone, just duplicates them. You maybe able to modify the cord to make one female jack with wire connected to mic only, and with its stereo audio not connected to anything. This could allow other jacks to be used for headset

You don't mention the computer but if you are using an Apple computer you will need to obtain a separate microphone amplifier that the headset microphone plugs into. It will not work without one.

As long as the Mac has a standard speaker output it should work fine and it is simple to plug one cord to the TV or Mac and one power cord to an outlet. It works great on our tv. My wife has a hearing loss and so she can set her volume higher while I leave the tv volume where I like. She also uses the headset when I am not around because it adds clarity for her.

Did you get it? I have one of them, it doesn't work. Neither do 3 others I have tried in the last week though, so I think I have a bad sound card. Sorry - I think it worked alright before it stopped working, but I could not swear it and I have a PC. Good luck.By the way, try Livemocha.com - beats Rosetta Stone hands-down for many languages, if you are careful about choosing your friends and build good relationships with the better tutors - and it is free.

You need an audio interface to connect it to your mac. The quality of the interface will effect the mics sound but it is sole due to the ad converter in the audio interface
